Here we go again... Remember the wave of restrictions slapped on Season Ticket holders over the summer? The club is now targeting Official Members. They aren't even calling it "suspicious activity" anymore; they’ve rebadged it as "activity that requires further review." We all want touting tackled, but dropping restriction emails on a Monday at 18:00 with a deadline of Wednesday at 08:00 gives fans barely 38 hours, effectively one single working day to respond. This is completely unacceptable for innocent supporters. One fan who contacted me is travelling all the way from Spain and now has no idea if his ticket for Saturday will even work at the turnstiles. If United are taking this heavy-handed approach, their detection needs to be bulletproof. We all know how flawed the club's data matching can be, yet they clearly haven't learned from summer's mistakes. Worse still, this directly violates the club's own published Club Sanctions and Appeals Policy, which contractually guarantees supporters a fair 14-day window to appeal any initial sanction decision. Slashing a two-week policy down to one working day is a blatant failure of due process and breaches the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which protects paying consumers from unfair terms and one-sided ultimatums. The club cannot bypass its own written rules simply because a fixture falls within that 14-day window. If you’ve been hit with one of these emails, submit a response before the Wednesday 08:00 deadline so your ticket isn't automatically cancelled for Saturday, but state clearly in writing that you are replying strictly under protest and duress, reserve your full 14-day right to reply, and will escalate any wrongful cancellation to the Independent Football Ombudsman. The Sanctions process is broken, United are unfairly treating supporters, and they need reporting. You can do this through any or all of the following: Independent Football Ombudsman (@TheIFO): For direct breach of their own published 14-day sanctions policy and lack of procedural fairness. Citizens Advice / Trading Standards: Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for unfair commercial practices and unreasonable deadlines on paying customers. The FSA (@WeAreTheFSA): Log your case with the Football Supporters' Association, they are collecting evidence on unfair club sanction regimes. Information Commissioner's Office (@ICOnews): If they use vague digital tracking/profiling and refuse to provide your data under a Subject Access Request (SAR). If you are a member who has received one of these restriction emails, please get in touch. The way you treat us is a disgrace.

It’s a really funny one this isn’t it, I don’t think anyone denies that the ownership at city have done some fantastic things for the area and for the club. Unfortunately they have been found guilty of cheating in a sporting capacity. We can acknowledge both

Check in your local Bertie at this difficult time 🙏 #BeKind

Considering the number of legal experts in. Manchester City’s support, I’m not sure how shinawatra ever ended up owning the club

Can ‘Gary the City Fan’ get on TV in some capacity?

Bet more than half these hypocrites on here slagging City off are watching the PL on a dodgy firestick!!! 😂

Yeah. Because that’s the same 🤣👏🏽

Does anyone believe that @ManCity stopped cheating in 2018? 🧐

Bert’s continue to Bert. Probably the greatest phone in call ever. I will be devastated to learn that this was a wind up

We’ve found the Bert final boss.

My book, Seven, has a date: 18 January 2027. Next week I’m off to Belfast to stay in George Best’s childhood home — and write about the experience for Red News. Quite a place to spend some time thinking about United, football, and not cheating. #MUFC #GeorgeBest

Bert’s Berting

Essentially, execs at city knew they were guilty, right from the start were happy to break rules. What they thought they would be able to do is to find loopholes and challenge the rules. Bitten them on the arse

Stefan Borson blocked me for asking if he was a snake oil salesman, imagine many non-city fans received the same. Now he’s blocking city fans who’d lapped up his nonsense

48 hours since Fergie : The Lost Tapes was published… how are you finding the read so far? amazon.co.uk/Fergie-Manchest…

If Southampton were denied a place in the Premier League for having a tea boy watch a training session from behind a tree, then Man City are well and truly screwed!

Both Manchester clubs were better with these two cranks in charge

That's a good point. Flagrant. I was in a state too, but looking at this with cold (sober) eyes. Blimey. Anyway, that's not even one of the 114. A bi-product. It beggars belief what will happen now BUT CAN WE HAVE A PICTURE OF A CITY BADGE WITH A CRACK DOWN THE MIDDLE?
